Anyone have advice for fall wedding flowers?

I'd like to use real flowers, mostly. My main color right now is a wine/burgundy color but I am open to using other colors in my arrangements. I'm not sure what flowers are in season at that time. I don't want to spend a large amount of $ on flowers and am not afraid of keeping arrangements simple. I just need suggestions on flowers, colors and ways I should consider arranging them.





Thanks!!

Anyone have advice for fall wedding flowers?
I've listed the most beautiful wine/burgandy combinations below that I could find. Don't avoid roses just because you think they'll be expensive. You can always mix them with other colors and you won't know how much they will cost until you have them priced. Many times, roses are at a good value in the fall. Mums of all sorts are generally at a good price in the fall.





Hope this helps - congrats %26amp; good luck!
Reply:I would go with freesia. They come A LOT of colors, they're beautiful and they smell incredible. I had midnight blue freesia, with grape ivy and baby's breath in my bouquet.
Reply:roses and tulips are always in season for weddings but also sunflowers, pumpkins, gourds, and fall leaves
Reply:I've arranged flowers for many weddings over the years. Now is the time to go to whomever will be flower arranging and ask what will be available in your area. Many flowers are available year round like roses, carnations, and mums. If at all possible, go to your local florist wholesale and ask to see their selection and also what will be in for fall. I've brought brides and their moms with me to our wholesaler to look at fresh flowers. Seeing in person is different and better than looking at a picture.





Note: All dark colors tend to fade to black in pictures unless there is very good lighting. I'd pick a vibrant color before a very dark one for girls to wear. A great color for all skin tones is a coral, peach or any pink/orange blend. All colors of flowers tend to pop when placed against this color family especially darker hues.





I'd use wine as an accent color with silver, shades of pink, and a light shade of green. Throw in some vibrant blue and orange for drama. Blue delphiniums, yellow/orange sunflowers, cream roses, pink carnations, green bells of Ireland and/or assortment of green leafy stems/ bean stems. Use burgandy and silver ribbon.

Reply:I would go with Mums.. they are beautiful, hardy (you can plant them in the yard afterward) and come in a variety of colors including burgandy. They are relatively cheap too.
Reply:I had a fall wedding, and I decided that my bridesmaids would be as colorful as the flower arrangement. I chose basic fall colors (brown, plum, red, navy blue, but no orange) and let the girls pick out their own dress as long as they got it in one of the colors (all the dresses were long so they looked uniform). Then I chose a different flower for each dress, one that complimented that particular dress. It was a little more complicated than ordering a number of one specific flower, but the girls were able to buy a dress they felt pretty in and could wear again, and each small bouquet complimented their choices. Grouped together beside me, they were more beautiful than a room full of flowers (plus I saved ALOT on the flower choices). Hope this helped.
Reply:We had dark purple dresses and used flowers that were dark purple, yellow, orange and peach. Sounds like a strange combination but it looked really nice. Our florist used some fake fall leaves in the bouquets and some dark green ferns. There were also some of those miniture sunflowers, which are not expensive but definitely fit the part for a Fall wedding. For the tables we had the same flower combinations in hollowed out pumpkins and also tea light in hollowed out mini pumpkins. And also on the tables we used some fake glittery leaves that we found at walmart for very cheap. But they looked really nice!
Reply:I am getting married in July and have been looking for some great colors also for Burgundy/claret...I have seen Burgundy paired with chocolate brown, burnt orange, and gold...very striking for a fall wedding.


My sister used Burgundy, hunter green,and ivory for her wedding. Beautiful pictures!!


Also, I have seen in the wed books that different shades of a color-Burgundy- light to dark- make a very elegant wedding.


Hope it helps!
